Portugal's Iconic Route
The N2 — Portugal's Route 66
The Estrada Nacional 2 stretches 739 kilometres from Chaves in the far north to Faro on the southern coast, crossing 11 districts, 32 municipalities and some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country. It is the only road in Europe that traverses an entire nation from top to bottom.
Sunrise Villa Alvorada sits approximately 5 kilometres from the N2 — the closest easy definable access — making it a natural base for travellers driving the full route or simply exploring a scenic stretch of it for a day.
Where We Are
Sunrise Villa Alvorada is located in Vila Nova de Poiares, a welcoming rural town in the Coimbra district. The villa is surrounded by the Serra da Lousã mountains to the west and the Mondego valley to the east, offering easy access to both mountain trails and riverside charm.
About the N2
Whether you are collecting your official N2 passport stamps or wandering without a plan, the villa is perfectly placed to jump on and off Portugal's most storied road. The route winds through mountains, vineyards, cork forests, whitewashed villages and river valleys.
